Raising kids like that seems so much like raising game cocks, or fighting
dogs or something.
Oh well, not my issue.

The telling part of this sad story is that when the RacerX interviewer
asked Mikey if he'd raise his children to be mini-racer-stars as his
father did with him, he replied no--kids need a chance to just be kids...

He wasn't that much faster than Rino when they met. So if you take that
race as gauge of his speed/ability, he might be top 10 but not quite the
speed to match the front runners.
Of course, he is camped at Milville these days, training on nothing but
that track. So he is going to have that track dialed by the time
they race.
But still. Seeing where Rino is these day, I'm predicting Mike
will be 5th at best...
